People are Important

 

On the surface, the primary costs of premises are about design and construction, the economic use of space, rent and rates.

In practice, for most office-based business, people are both the major asset and the dominant cost.

 

When good people are hard to find, let alone keep, a pleasant and comfortable office environment can make the critical difference. So optimising the workplace makes serious economic sense.

Quality lighting design combined with the appropriate environmental conditions can make a major contribution to staff comfort and productivity.

 

Effective Solutions


In fit-out, both quantity and quality of space are at a premium. Our designers understand the economic, aesthetic and operational value of space.

 

Wherever possible, we advocate compact, simple and fault-tolerant solutions that minimise service space demands, maximise lettable area and which provide flexibility in operation.

This 'keep it simple’ approach is a feature of all our work.

 

Optimising Value


The cost of churn is often underestimated. Some financial services firms reorganise their departments as frequently as once every six months.

 

Even at average churn rates of once per four years, over the life of the fit-out the total price of workplace-change can easily exceed the initial costs.

We develop designs to optimize flexibility and maximise value over the entire life-cycle of the installation. This results, not only in lower total costs and reduced disruption at times of churn, it also represents the most sustainable option by avoiding obsolescence and reducing energy costs.

 

Specialist Advice


Our knowledge of all building systems and experience in both base-building design and fitting-out ensure that we deliver expert advice at all stages of any project.

 

Our depth of knowledge and experience allows us to deliver consistently creative and innovative solutions that employ current technologies but with an awareness of future trends and their likely impact on the building and its systems.

As part of the Roger Preston Group of Companies, we offer expert advice from our in-house specialist divisions which are staffed by engineers who are specialists in their chosen fields. Our vendor independence ensures truly competitive tendering and procurement.

 

Team Focus


Close working relationships with our clients and effective communications are essential to the delivery of a successful project.

 

We take a proactive role in establishing the brief and developing the design. Change is an inevitable part of the fit-out process and we respond to all our client’s concerns or changing requirements in a professional manner. In many instances, end-user clients are new to the construction process and we can advise on industry best practice, identifying the most appropriate procurement route and many other strategic issues.

Our dedicated team understands fully the programme criticality of this type of work and is geared to respond and deliver to meet this challenge.
